Free Will & Destiny

After understanding The Soul's Journey in previous heading, let us now understand about Free Will and Destiny.

Free Will :

GOD is always all loving and Its love is unconditional for All That Is and never demanding or asking anything. It is due to our divine love for GOD that we volunteered to experience Its knowledge and in the unconditional love for all of us, GOD gave us free will to choose any experience we want to have as souls because only through this unconditional love and free will the knowledge can be experienced fully and giving birth to multi diverse forms of creativity levels through free will thus making GOD and us as whole ever expansive, ever growing, ever creative infinitely.

Now suppose that GOD is putting conditions and laying out To Do and Not To Do's, do you think we as souls would be able to experience all the knowledge infinitely? --- NO.

For experiencing all the knowledge to the fullest and taking the creativity to infinite heights with each experience, all types of experiences are necessary, be it what we label as good or bad, positive or negative, up or down, left or right all of which are the opposites and complimentary to each other as without the one, the other is incomplete and All That Is, is collectively GOD. So, how can we term anything as against something as everything is GOD and if one does discriminate anything then it is incomplete, not Whole and in this incompleteness, we are making GOD incomplete in our ignorant and judgemental nature as nothing can ever be complete in terms of experiencing the knowing without the opposites. For GOD, all are equal and hence we all are blessed with GOD's unconditional love and free will to choose our experiences.

Say for example, a soul wants to experience courage. For this, a soul will have to go through a difficult situation in life which can only be created by someone other than the soul itself. Now to gain this experience of courage, the soul requires another soul to create a difficult situation in his life so that it can go through the difficult situation created by other soul, who in turn, volunteers to assist and also wants an experience of creating difficult situations for others. The soul wanting to experience courage, will be inspired to go through the difficult situation created by other soul with courage and the soul does it successfully and gains the experience of courage.

Now, without the assistance of other soul who created a difficult situation for the soul to experience courage, do you think it would have been possible for the soul's experience of courage? --- NO.

Also, the soul who wanted to experience creating difficult situation for others and who assisted in creating difficult situation for the other soul, do you think it would have done so without the soul who was wanting to experience courage? --- NO

So, it is very evident that without the one, the other is always incomplete in experiencing knowledge and when two souls or group of souls together are wanting to experience the opposite situations in life, they are assisting each other in doing so, being a perfect match like jigsaw puzzle creating a whole situation, as they are gaining experience out of the presence opposites in their lives which helps their own and collective consciousness expand with every experience taking the whole consciousness to greater and greater heights of creative level created through experiences.

Hence, free will given to us by GOD is completely unconditional because in the presence of the opposites, an experience is generated and in the absence of one, the other is non-existent. For example, when people say that they are good or smart or beautiful or handsome or kind then they can only say this when they are discriminating the opposites of themselves but people do not realise that if the so called opposites- bad, dumb, ugly, cruel are absent then what are they going to call themselves when there is no reference point of these opposites? One always need a point out of themselves to label something and in the absence of the opposite, the self is non-existent.

Destiny :

Now, if you have understood the above basic simple principle of how the knowledge is experienced through the friction between opposites, we will come into the play of Destiny and how we create it before taking birth as humans while we are in the soul form in our spiritual realm.

While in spiritual realm, a soul, who wants to experience the knowledge which is unlimited and all the knowledge cannot be experienced at the same moment, a soul chooses to have only certain limited experiences out of the infinite knowledge and decides to master those in one lifetime. Now after choosing the experiences it wants to experience of certain knowledge, the soul chooses its gender, country, city, parents, relatives, children, friends, colleagues and so on who are in sync with its choice of experiencing and will provide a situation in its life by creating required situations in its life and makes the whole life plan along with other souls who will be sharing similar or opposite experiences complimentary to each other as an individual or a group. Every soul normally moves around in a group forming group family souls and they interchange relations in every lifetime assisting each other to gain more and more experiences out of knowledge and taking them to higher and higher levels of creativity leading to the infinite expansion of their own and collective consciousness of All That Is which we term as GOD.

Once the soul along with other group souls, who have together charted out their life plan for a certain life giving them experiences they have chosen to experience out of the infinite knowledge, they discuss their life plan with their and Spiritual Masters and Guides who further guides, assists and advises the souls to even modify the life plan, in case that soul has made it more difficult to grasp than the experience it has gained in the past lives to handle that kind of difficult situation. The soul, through its free will, either takes the advise of the Spiritual Masters and Guides and modifies its life plan or it keeps the same life plan despite the advise given to them to modify.

Sometimes a soul creates more difficult situations in life in order to gain more experiences faster in one lifetime than choosing to gain it through few lifetimes. But in doing so, sometimes if that particular soul is not in a prior experienced state to handle this kind of more difficult life for the sake of experiencing, then the soul might tend to end their life midway which we call suicide which is not permitted in the spiritual realm as it is the soul who has taken up through its free will to experience what it wants to experience and with it there are other group souls who are linked like a jigsaw puzzle with that soul for experiencing their part with its presence and due to the suicide route a soul takes, the experience to be gained by other group souls gets jeopardised as all are complimentary to each other in gaining the experiences.

Thus,as we understand from the above, we as souls, for the divine love we have towards GOD and for the GOD's unconditional love towards us and through the free will imparted to us, we choose to experience our infinite knowledge through life we want to experience, we choose everything in our life including the gender, country, city, parents, relatives, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, situations, environment, circumstances and all that we are experiencing in present life and all the lifetimes we have been through and that we will be passing through in the future. This is what we call is Destiny, which is chosen by us and us only and no one else.

Based on our life plan once it is finalised, all the souls involved into one lifetime as group souls assisting each other in experiencing the knowledge it wants to experience, their entry into physical body chosen by them is timed in such a way in accordance with the perfect planetary movements by the Spiritual Masters that it facilitates all the experiences a soul has undertaken to experience with the passing of planetary movements. This is where astrology comes in the picture as astrologer predicts your life plan on the basis of the body's birth time and the planets positions at that time and calculating the planetary situations in the present and future times. An astrologer simply predicts what you have pre-decided about your life plan which you are not aware of, thats all.

Even if an astrologer predicts a soul's future, the very same soul can change it with its strong faith, intention and determination because here, the main understanding one has to have is, that after attaching itself in a manifested human physical body too, a soul always has its free will with it to change life plan and experiences during the course of its life except the major 3 or 4 life's experiences it wants to experience which, in fact, are the main reasons for attaching itself to the manifested physical human entity. 

This, a soul forgets while being in a physical body as it thinks that it is the physical body only and not the soul and also its mind gets conditioned with the belief systems imparted to it by the limited perception of the mind of its parents, family, friends, society etc and accepts all that conditionings by default without questioning it because it is being overwhelmingly imparted by majority of people's mind around it. This creates a karmic bondage or circle within which a soul keeps living on in unawareness until realisation dawns on it.

One reason for forgetting what it is while being in a body is also due to the fact that a soul is a high vibrational being before manifesting itself into a physical body. The physical body is a gross body which vibrates at a lower frequency and to attach itself into the physical body, the soul has to shed its high vibration to a lower equivalent vibration of the body, in which it tends to forget what it is.

In fact, this forgetting too, through loss of vibrational frequency, has been done voluntarily by the soul itself because if it remembers everything what is planned, then how is it going to go through difficult situations and other situations, arising out of duality on this planet, which are actually instruments and catalysts for the experiences it wants to experience? 

For example, if a soul is wanting to experience of being slapped on cheeks then it has to go through an angry situation created by other, a product of duality again and experience being slapped out of that anger of the other and to create this scenario, both of them should be unaware of whats happening till it happens and that is the beauty of non-remembrance which will lead to this experience. The experience wouldn't be so exciting if it was performed in awareness. Isn't it?

But, all these experiences of knowledge from all the lifetimes takes a soul on a higher and higher pedestal of understanding the nature of duality and slowly it becomes aware of all the past life experiences and refines itself for higher experiences, dropping the experiences of illusory duality from its mind and goes towards the realisation of the Self as a soul and ultimately treads the path of Oneness with All That Is which is GOD, through conscious awareness.
